Seed TEAM Account

On April 16, 2000 the Board approved a discretionary account of $750 annually for the Seed TEAM. During 2001 this was not used, only the $100 Cooler and related electricity the major expenses. Underuse as well as overruns on discretionary accounts are smoothed between years. Thus, there remains $431.61 from 2001 to be used for Seed TEAM expenses. The remaining discretionary for 2002 is now down to $153.94, but combined with the underusage in 2001, is actually $585.55.

On July 29, 2001 the Board approved Roger's estimate of $740 for the Kansas Seed Gardens. This was disbursed in pre-payment checks totalling $700, including an anticipated expense for plowing, which was never incurred. Roger rolled the plowing pre-pay into the expenses for fencing and weed suppression rolls, the remainder of that expense taken from the discretionary account for 2002.

At present, the remaining approved funding, $625.55, looks adequate for the 2002 Season.
